They are mostly trying to bribe me at the moment. I'm lapping it up. So far I've accepted many coffees, a variety of cakes, chocolate, crisps, beer, concert tickets and some champagne (yes, these are in ascending order). It's not all good though- there's a yacht party happening at the weekend and I'm kind of waiting to be invited to that *slightly put out*

Not to bribe them, really, and had no desire to be mates with them outside of work, but just to prove to a couple of them that i was a lot less uptight than they were.

There was one person particularly, my supervisor, who was so outrageously tight it was almost sad. Essentially, rubbing my money in her face by buying her decent, actually edible takeaway was a way of relegating her down the office food chain.

I became the provider. She was indebted to me. To try and offset the balance she had no choice but to make me regular brews and do little jobs for me. I was effectively buying her status. I'm fucking clever, y'know.

I never have to pay for drinks or food if I go out with work people so I guess thats it. Sometimes someone will buy me a coffee but i'm the office hottie so what do you expect? (only girl amongst 10+ men)

My manager did bring me about 25 greengage's yesterday. I think i'd be quite ill if I ate them all.

There has been a fuck-up. My boss doesn't think it's his fault. Nor does my bribee. However, muggins here has to go tell the bribee to redo some work on very short notice, potentially pissing off her immediate superior.
Yes, the order has come from on high, and yes, it is her job, but it's a bit shitty for her and a massive bar of chocolate serves as an acknowledgment of that fact and a thank you for sorting it out.
